Miltank

Number:241

Type:Normal

Does not evolve

Miltank(ミルタンク,Mirutanku
?) is a cow Pokémon that provides a
highly nutritious milk, especially during a post-gestation period. Its name
is a portmanteau of the words milk and tank.
Miltank's milk and its derivatives, such as yogurt, are popular with
children and adults and can even be used as a form of natural
medicine for the sick and weary, as well as other Pokémon. Over
five gallons of milk can be gathered daily from a single
Miltank.

In the Pokémon Gold and Silver game, Whitney, Gym
Leader of Goldenrod City owns a Miltank.

Blissey

Blissey, Happinas(ハピナス,Hapinasu
?) in original Japanese
language versions, is very compassionate and caring, and if it
detects any feelings of sadness through its fur, it will
immediately sprint towards the source and share one of its eggs.
This egg is an exquisite delicacy in the Pokémon universe, and it
immediately causes whoever eats it to enter a state of euphoria, becoming
kindhearted to everyone. Blissey will tend to any ailing creature
with loving care, using the healing power in its egg. Blissey has
the most "hit points" of any Pokémon in the games, meaning that it
has the most stamina of any Pokémon. It is a female-only
species.

In the anime, Blissey appeares a lot in Pokémon Centers
alongside Nurse Joy. Blissey and the various Nurse Joys (of which
there are many) are trusted with the medical care of many different
types of Pokémon. Almost all of Blissey's Pokémon Center
appearances are mainly in the Johto Saga. In one episode, Jessie of
Team Rocket reunites a Blissey who used to be a Chansey when they
were both studying to be nurses.

Raikou

Number:243

Type:Electric

Does not evolve

Raikou(ライコウ,Raikō
?), known as the Thunder Pokémon, is one
of the three "Legendary Beasts"
that are featured in Pokémon Gold,
Silver, and Crystal.
According to legend, the Legendary Beasts were reincarnated by Ho-Oh from the
spirits of three Pokémon which died in the fire that gave Burnt
Tower its name. They are awakened in this tower in their first
appearance. Another myth maintains that Raikou descended to earth
together with a lightning bolt.[1] Each
Beast personifies a force of nature - Raikou, in particular,
embodies the speed of lightning.[2]

Raikou is a yellow tiger-like creature that stores tremendous
energy inside its body.[3] It has
black stripes that resemble lightning bolts and a white under-side,
and a skinny, light-blue tail with a star-shaped formation at the
end. Raikou appears to have a purple cape that is supposedly made
of thunderclouds. Most of Raikou's face is white with a light-blue
"X" on its face and a gray crest on its forehead. Raikou has red
eyes and long fangs in its upper jaws that make its appearance
similar to the sabre-tooth cat. It has the ability to shoot bolts
of lightning from the rain clouds on its back.[4]
Raikou's roar is aptly described as "thunderous". It is loud enough
to create shock waves
and shake the ground as if actual thunder had struck.[2]
Raikou is normally distrustful of humans due to the fact that
humans have tried to capture the Legendary Beast of Thunder for
many centuries, though it has shown some friendship with those that
just wish to help it. As a member of the legendary beast trio,
Raikou is constantly on the move,[5]
although it tends to show up either when there is a thunderstorm or
when other Electric-type Pokémon are in danger.

Raikou is featured in a special anime episode called Raikou
- The Legend of Thunder that forms the first three episodes of
Pokémon Chronicles. In the
special, two Team Rocket agents scheme to capture Raikou
with a device that reflects and deflects energy blasts. Three New
Bark Town trainers risk their own lives to try and save Raikou. It
is thought by the trainers that Raikou attempts to guard other
electric Pokémon from danger whenever possible.[6]
Raikou also appears in the Gamecube game Super Smash Bros. Melee,
when released from a Poké Ball, Raikou releases a powerful Spark
attack that electrocutes any opponents that get caught in it.

Entei

Number:244

Type:Fire

Does not evolve

Entei(エンテイ
?) is one of the three "Legendary Beasts" that are featured in Pokémon Gold,
Silver, and Crystal.
According to legend, the Legendary Beasts were reincarnated by Ho-Oh from the
spirits of three Pokémon which died in the fire that gave Burnt
Tower its name. They are awakened in this tower in their first
video game appearance. Entei is a lion-like creature covered in brown fur with a
long, thick mane covering its neck. It has gray plates surrounding
the cape that makes it look as if smoke is coming out of a crater
on its back. Entei has white paws and black cuff-like bands on its
legs, It has a red face with a white plate that resembles a handlebar mustache on its face, and a
three-pointed yellow crest on its forehead. Entei's head appears to
resemble a kabuto, a samurai
helmet. Myths say that it is born during the eruption of a volcano,
and that a new one is born along with each volcano.[7] Entei
is an embodiment of magma,[8] being
able to launch powerfully searing, fire that is hotter than magma
from its mouth.[9] When it
roars, it can make a volcano erupt on another part of the
globe.[10] As a
member of the legendary beast trio, Entei are constantly on the
move with no set place to hang around in.[11]

Entei was a main character in Pokémon 3: The Movie.[12
] He is an illusionary Entei that appeared to
Molly Hale after she made a wish to the Unown, serving as a replacement father for her
while her real father was trapped in the Unown dimension. He did
everything Molly asked for, even kidnapping Delia Ketchum so she can be Molly's mother
and providing her with Crystal Pokémon for her to battle Brock and Misty with when they entered the tower that Entei
had created to rescue Delia. When Ash attempted to confront Entei
to get his mother back, his Totodile and Cyndaquil were rapidly
defeated, with Pikachu only
lasting longer without fairing any better, and even Charizard was only able to
hold Entei off without actually defeating it. However, when Entei
was about to kill Charizard, Molly finally decided that she wanted
things to be real again. Accepting Molly's decision, Entei helped
Pikachu and Charizard defeat the now out-of-control Unown,
subsequently bidding Molly farewell and assuring her that he would
always be in her dreams.

Suicune

Number:245

Type:Water

Does not evolve

Suicune(スイクン,Suikun
?), is one of the three "Legendary Beasts" that are featured in Pokémon Gold,
Silver, and Crystal.
According to legend, the Legendary Beasts were reincarnated by Ho-Oh from the
spirits of three Pokémon which died in the fire that gave Burnt
Tower its name. They are awakened in this tower in their first
video game appearance. It is the incarnation of northern winds,
which always blow as it passes throughout the world. It also
embodies the compassion of a spring, so as it travels, it seeks out
pure reservoirs of water, and using its power, it instantly
purifies dirty, muddy, or otherwise polluted water into the
clearest of liquids by simply stepping into it.

In Pokémon Crystal Suicune is the star
Pokémon, in a similar way that Pokémon Gold
showcased Ho-oh or Pokémon Silver
showcased Lugia. Eusine, a mysterious trainer,
appears throughout the course of the game. He is set on meeting and
catching Suicune, and will battle the player for that honour.
Eventually, Suicune can be caught by heading to the Tin Tower after
obtaining the Clear Bell. Three old men will challenge the player
to a battle and if they are defeated, they will allow access to a
floor where Suicune waits to battle.

Larvitar

Number:246

Type:Rock/ Ground

Evolves from:None

Evolves into:Pupitar

Larvitar, Yogiras(ヨーギラス,Yōgirasu
?) in original Japanese
language versions, is born deep underground where it feeds on
dirt in order to reach the surface, and enable it to find its
parents. After it has eaten a large mountain or a comparable amount
of dirt, it falls into a deep sleep and begins the evolutionary
process to evolve into its pupa stage, Pupitar

In Pokémon: Master Quest, Ash Ketchum, en route to New Bark Town
after winning all eight Johto League badges, is asked to deliver a
Pokémon egg to Professor Elm. However, on the way, the egg hatches,
and Larvitar was born. Soon afterwards, Professor Elm asks Ash and
company to return Larvitar to its home in Mt.
Silver. It doesn't open up to anyone except Ash and Pikachu, who nurse it from
sickness. This is due to its abduction by a gang of Pokémon poachers as well as the
physical harm they caused to its mother, Tyranitar. It eventually
opens up to others, and is returned to its mother on Mt. Silver.

Pupitar

Number:247

Type:Rock/ Ground

Evolves from:Larvitar

Evolves into:Tyranitar

Pupitar, Sanagiras(サナギラス,Sanagirasu
?) in original Japanese
language versions, is a pupa
stage in the process of Larvitar evolving into Tyranitar. Though it
is in a shell, it already has developed arms and legs under it.
This allows it to thrash about, and have a lot of mobility. This
mobility is heightened by it creating a special pressurized gas
that can be released to propel itself at high speeds. Using the
bedrock toughness of its shell and its natural strength, it can
easily topple mountains, and withstand an impact with solid
steel.

Tyranitar

Number:248

Type:Rock/ Dark

Evolves from:Pupitar

Evolves into:None

Tyranitar, Bangiras(バンギラス,Bangirasu
?) in original Japanese
language versions, is the final evolution of Larvitar. It is
depicted as having insurmountable strength and impenetrable armor,
and its Pokédex descriptions often describe how it uses its great
strength. For example, it can easily change the landscape by
rampaging, often causing maps to have to be redrawn. It also
destroys whole mountains with one arm just to make its nest. It has
an insolent nature towards all other beings, and also constantly
seeks out opponents to challenge due to its toughness.

In Pokémon Colosseum, a Tyranitar
is considered the "Ultimate Shadow Pokémon", and is owned by the
boss of Cipher, Evice. It is not the last Shadow Pokémon, but it is
the highest-leveled one.

Lugia

Number:249

Type:Psychic/ Flying

Does not evolve

Lugia(ルギア,Rugia
?) is a legendary Pokémon that first appears in Pokémon Gold and
Silver, appearing on the boxart for Silver.
Lugia, thought to be the guardian of the sea,[13]
resides deep in the ocean floor.[14] It
spends most of its time at the bottom of the sea due to its
tremendous power, which includes toppling houses by merely flapping
its wings and the ability to start storms that can last for over
forty days. It is usually seen near the beginning of storms, and it
often uses its wings to calm them.[15]
Lugia's signature move is Aeroblast.

It plays the role of a general legendary Pokémon in some games,
where it waits in a far-off location, ready to battle. Lugia is one
of the main characters of Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
The storyline of the game depicts a "Shadow" Lugia terrorizing the
locals and wreaking havoc. It is the only Shadow Pokémon whose
physical appearance is different from its regular state. Shadow
Lugia is said to be struggling, asking for help to free it from
doing Cipher's work in which "its deeper closed heart refuses to
do". The player has to catch and Purify it for it to return to its
original state.

In Pokémon: The Movie 2000, Lugia, voiced by Eric Rath,
comes from the sea when the three Legendary Birds Articuno,
Zapdos,
and Moltres are roused by a Pokémon collector
who tries to catch the trio. Lugia then battles the raging Birds
and, with the help of Ash and Team Rocket, manages to
calm them and restore peace to nature. Lugia makes a second
appearance in the Pokémon TV series when the
protagonist, Ash, travels to the Whirl Islands where he meets his friend
Richie to help stop a Team Rocket scientist from separating a young
Lugia named "Silver" from her parent.[16]

Ho-Oh

"Ho-Oh" redirects here. For the mythological
bird it most resembles (appearance-wise), see Fenghuang. For the other mythological bird it
could represent (ability-wise), see Phoenix (mythology).

Number:250

Type:Fire/ Flying

Does not evolve

Ho-Oh(ホウオウ,Hōō
?) is a legendary Pokémon that first appears in
Pokémon, I Choose
You and in the games Pokémon Gold and
Silver, appearing on Gold's boxart. Long ago in Ecruteak
City, there were two towers, the Brass Tower and Tin Tower being
the roost of Lugia and Ho-Oh, respectively.
When the Brass Tower burned down, both Pokémon fled, never to be
seen again. Three Pokémon became trapped in the flames of the Brass
Tower and perished. Ho-Oh returned to the Burned Tower and
resurrected the three Pokémon, who were renamed Raikou, Entei, and Suicune. It
has an unknown gender. It is called the Rainbow Pokémon due to its various associations
with rainbows. Its feathers constantly change through the rainbow's
spectrum of colors as light hits them from different angles. These
leave a rainbow trail as it flies continuously through the world's
skies, though it is said to live at the foot of a rainbow. Ho-oh's
signature move is Sacred Fire.

Ho-oh is said to appear before pure-hearted trainers as the
representative of the bonds between humans and Pokémon, and bring
happiness to all that see it. This is expanded upon in the anime,
where it is said to appear before a hero. Ash Ketchum sees Ho-Oh various times
throughout his journey, the first time being before Gold and Silver
were even announced. It remained a mystery until it was revealed in
Pokémon Gold.

Celebi

Number:251

Type:Psychic/ Grass

Does not evolve

Celebi(セレビィ,Serebī
?) is a time travelinglegendary Pokémon that first debuted in
Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver. It is
known as the guardian of the forest, where it is worshiped as a
god. It wanders through time, visiting various undisturbed old-growth
forests during peaceful times, leaving behind flourishing grass
and trees. It often leaves behind an egg that it brought from the
future. Celebi's continuing existence signifies a good future.

Celebi cannot be captured in any English version of the Pokémon
video games; however, it can be obtained at Nintendopromotional giveaway events. In
Pokémon Colosseum, the power of
Celebi is used to purify Shadow Pokémon. When
one of the three Time Flutes in the game is used, Celebi will
appear and purify a Shadow Pokémon instantly. Once all 48 Shadow
Pokémon have been purified trainers playing the Japanese version of
the game can obtain Celebi via the bonus disc that comes with
Colosseum. On the North-American version, Celebi is replaced by Jirachi.

Despite being a legendary Pokémon, Celebi has fairly low stats,
and its Psychic/Grass type cross means that 7 different types are
"Super effective" against it, including a 4x weakness to
Bug-types.

In the anime, Celebi is represented as a generally weak Pokémon
that constantly needs protection. Celebi is one of the main
characters in the movie Pokémon 4Ever. In this movie, Celebi
is running away from a hunter. It crashes into young Samuel Oak who protects it, and in return,
Celebi transports them forty years into the future, where Sam teams
up with Ash Ketchum
to save Celebi from a Team Rocket member who turns it into a Dark
Celebi by capturing it in a Dark Poké Ball. Near the end of the
movie, several dozen Celebi appear from all sorts of different eras
in time to help out. It also makes appearances in various
episodes.

In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness,
a shiny Celebi helps a Grovyle and the Main
protagonist return
to their world from the future. After this, she vanishes because
the future she was a part of ceased to exist due to the character
stopping Primal Dialga.

Treecko is a small, green, bipedal reptilian Pokémon. Treecko's
hands and feet each have three digits. Treecko has two large
dark-green tails, which they use to predict the day's weather.[17] Its
stomach and throat are red. Treecko has yellow eyes with long,
skinny pupils. It also has a line across on its stomach resembling
a pouch. With the aid of tiny spikes located in their hands and
feet, Treecko are able to scale walls and even ceilings.[18] Very
cool and calm, Treecko never panic under any circumstances, even
when faced with a bigger foe.[19] Known
to be the protectors of the forest's trees, Treecko make their
nests inside overgrown forests.[20]
Wild Treecko are very territorial, and will attack anyone that
comes near their homes by attacking with their tails.[21]

In the anime Ash helped a Treecko in trying to
save his old tree home, which afterward he battled the Treecko, and
caught him as a result of that battle.[22]
Ash has used Treecko in a number of battles since its capture
including the gym battles against Roxanne and Brawly.[23
][24]
Treecko evolved into Grovyle in the middle of a battle against a
Loudred.[25]

Grovyle

Number:253

Type:Grass

Evolves from:Treecko

Evolves into:Sceptile

Grovyle(ジュプトル,Juputoru
?, Juptile in original Japanese
language versions) is the evolution of Treecko. The
leaves that grow out of Grovyle's body, as well as its matching
green coloration, provide excellent camouflage against the background of its
native habitats, the forests and jungles. But even if spotted, Grovyle has little
trouble escaping danger. Its powerful thighmuscles make it very adept at climbing trees and
jumping from branch to branch very quickly, disappearing into the
forest and eluding its pursuers.

In the anime, Ash Ketchum's Treecko evolves into Grovyle. Its
personality does not change much; Grovyle is as much of a loner as
Treecko was, and it loves the challenge of a battle. It also
habitually keeps a twig in its mouth, although larger than the one
it used to keep as a Treecko. When Ash returns to Kanto to take the Battle Frontier
challenge, Grovyle is one of the Pokémon he takes with him. Ash
continues to use Grovyle until its evolution into Sceptile.

A Grovyle appears in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of
Time/Darkness as a major supporting protagonist. He is initially
believed to be a villain when he collects the time gears in the
present time, but in actuality, he and the main protagonist came to
the present time from the future world to help save the Temporal
Tower and prevent the planet's paralysis.

Sceptile

Number:254

Type:Grass

Evolves from:Grovyle

Evolves into:None

Sceptile(ジュカイン,Jukain
?) is the final evolution of Treecko.
Sceptile's power is unmatched in the jungle, and they are thus the
dominant species in such environments. Sceptile's bodies are
configured for battling prowess and superior mobility in jungle
environments, with large, sharp leaves protruding from their arms
and legs that can easily cut large trees. As caretakers of the
forest, these Pokémon carefully grow trees and plants with loving
care. The orb-like seeds on a Sceptile's back are filled to the
brim with nutrients, which Sceptile use to revitalize the trees in
their care. Sceptile regulate their body temperature by basking in
sunlight.

In the anime Battle Frontier saga, Ash's Grovyle
evolves into a Sceptile during a battle with a Tropius. Even after
evolution, Sceptile retains its rebellious personality. Ash's
Sceptile is initially unable to use any attacks, due to the
psychological impact of a Meganium's rejection. However, it regains
the ability to use its attacks, and it later learns the SolarBeam
attack.

Torchic

Number:255

Type:Fire

Evolves from:None

Evolves into:Combusken

Torchic(アチャモ,Achamo
?), known as the Chick Pokémon, is the Fire-type starting Pokémon
in Pokémon Ruby,
Sapphire, and Pokémon
Emerald. In the anime, May choses a playful Torchic as
her starter Pokémon because she considers it to be cute. She often
uses it in battles, but avoids using it in Pokémon Contests until it evolves. The protagonist of a 6-part
manga series called Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team
transformed into a Torchic. Torchic is featured in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a
Pokémon that can be released from a Poké Ball during battle. It
engulfs nearby battlers with flames it radiates from its body by
using Fire Spin.[26]

Torchic are described by the in-game Pokédexes of the Pokémon
video games as being covered by a fluffy coat of down.[27]
Their wings are small and rudimentary; however, as Torchic evolve into their later forms, Combusken and Blaziken, claws slowly
protrude from their wingtips, making them potentially vicious
fighters. They are small, clumsy birds, with yellowish feathers and
orange bodies. In the Pokémon universe, Torchic are known for
disliking darkness because it prevents them from seeing their
surroundings,[28]
regardless of their proficiency with fire techniques which
can illuminate the dark. Before Torchic's legs develop fully, they
stay with their Pokémon trainer,
following behind with unsteady, hopping steps while they learn to
walk properly.[29]
They also have a sac filled with churning fire deep within their
stomach, allowing them to give literal "warm hugs" to their
trainers.[30]
This powerful fire also serves as their "ammunition" in battles; when attacked, they
retaliate by spitting fire,[28]
at temperatures of over 1,800 degrees.[29]

In 2004, two Torchic design toys, the "Torchic Plush Keychain"
and "Plush Bean Bag Torchic", were part of a major recall by Tomy of 13 plush
Pokémon toys. Due to a manufacturing fault, tips of needles were
left in the stuffing, causing makers to replace the toys with
compensation or replacements.[31]

Combusken

Number:256

Type:Fire/ Fighting

Evolves from:Torchic

Evolves into:Blaziken

Combusken(ワカシャモ,Wakashamo
?, Wakasyamo in original Japanese
language versions) is the evolved form of Torchic.
Combusken's legs are both fast and powerful, and to keep them at
peak physical condition, many run through nearby fields and
mountains to stay agile and strong. By doing this, Combusken can
kick up to 10 times per second, not giving up easily. Like Torchic,
Combusken has a place within its body that stores and produces
incredibly hot flames, It allows it to spew flames from its beak
and to kick continuously until an opponent either faints or gives
up.

In the anime, May owned a Combusken
that evolved from her Torchic to protect Ash's Corphish, and it later evolved into a
Blaziken.

Blaziken

Number:257

Type:Fire/ Fighting

Evolves from:Combusken

Evolves into:None

Blaziken(バシャーモ,Bashāmo
?), known as the Blaze Pokémon, evolves from Combusken at level 36,
and is the final form of Torchic. Blaziken appears as if it's
wearing a sleeveless jacket on its torso. It has a crest on its
head with two points, which resembles a letter "V". It also has
long hair behind its head and a small face almost completely
covered in feathers. Its strong, muscular legs help it jump up a
skyscraper with one kick and with ease.[32] It
can make flames spout from its wrists and ankles, cloaking its feet
or fists. It may also launch a fiery kick at the opponent.[33] A
female has shorter "hair" than a male. The V-shape on a female's
"mask" is also smaller. Every several years, its old feathers burn
off, and new, supple feathers grow back in their place.[34]

Blaziken was first seen used by Harrison to defeat a Sneasel
that was blocking access to the flame of Ho-Oh. Harrison later used
Blaziken in a climatic battle with Ash's Charizard.[35]
Blaziken was also seen in Destiny Deoxys under
the ownership of Rafe.[36]
May's Combusken evolved into a Blaziken during the break of a
Pokémon Contest, when Ash and co. were trying to stop Team Rocket
from stealing Pikachu and other Pokémon. In the midst of the
ensuing battle, Combusken evolved into Blaziken, and used its Blaze
Kick to send Team Rocket flying. May then used Blaziken in the
Battle Phase against Ash's Sceptile.[37]
Blaziken appeared again when May made a guest appearance in Sinnoh,
taking a break from Johto contests. It was used in the Seven Stars
Restaurant tag battles, and battled alongside Dawn's Piplup.[38
]

In the Pokémon Adventuresmanga, a
Torchic named Toro was one of the first Pokémon that Sapphire received. It ultimately became a
Blaziken during her battle with Winona. It is
Sapphire's most trusted team member, and was used in almost every
single major battle she had. It teamed up with Ruby's "Zuzu" in a double battle against Archie
and Maxie at Seafloor Cavern. In the Emerald arc, Toro was
Sapphire's most used Pokémon in the numerous Battle Dome and Battle
Tower battles, and it learned the ultimate fire attack, Blast Burn,
from Kimberly's metal ring.

IGN editor "Pokémon of the Day
Chick" commented that she had never seen a Pokémon who is "SUCH a
clear-cut favorite over his comrades", referencing fellow starting
Pokémon Swampert and Sceptile, though she added
that it is due in part to the greater popularity of fire types over
water and grass types.[39]

They are small blue Pokémon with a large fin on their head that
allows them to sense movements within the air and water, acting as
a radar.[40]
While in the water, they use the orange, spiky gills on their
cheeks to breathe while using their large tail fin to propel
themselves.[41][42]
They are extremely strong, despite their small bodies; they are
able to lift or crush large boulders.[41][43]
When sleeping, they bury themselves within the soil at the edge of
the water.[43]
Mudkip and members of its evolution family dwell in swamps or other
wetlands, deep inside isolated islands, because of their dislike of
fresh water lakes and ponds.

In the Pokémon anime, Brock, a
Pokémon breeder and former Gym leader, obtains a Mudkip on Dewford
Island. As Ash
Ketchum and his companions climb a waterfall, they come across
a group of young Mudkip. Brock rescues one of the Mudkip from being
washed away in a stream. Brock's Lotad and Mudkip work together to defeat Team Rocket, at which point the Mudkip
decides to join Brock's team.[44]
Mudkip's primary role is to assist Brock during water related
situations, such as searching for objects in the ocean, such as an
Illumise[45]
and a pearl belonging to a Spoink.[46
]

In the manga Pokémon Adventures during the
arc based on Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Ruby, the male protagonist, obtains a
Mudkip named Zuzu as his starter Pokémon
from Professor Birch. Ruby becomes a Pokémon
coordinator, a person who uses their Pokémon for contests rather than battles, and uses Zuzu
in those contests. At the beginning Ruby was disappointed with it
because it wasn't pretty enough like his other Pokémon, but then he
decided that Tough Contests would be perfect for it. Zuzu was first
used to battle against Sapphire, Ruby's
rival in the manga.[47]
Zuzu evolved into a Marshtomp unexpectedly while Ruby was in
Slateport City,[48]
and again into a Swampert, while training near Fortree
City.[49]

Mudkip has received many tribute videos on YouTube due to the popular internet meme, "so I
herd u liek mudkips".[50]GameFAQs's sixth and seventh
annual character battles featured Mudkip, with him losing in round
one against Luigi in 2007, and
against Mega Man X in
2008.[51][52]

Marshtomp

Number:259

Type:Water/ Ground

Evolves from:Mudkip

Evolves into:Swampert

Marshtomp(ヌマクロー,Numakurō
?, Numacraw in original Japanese
language versions) is the mudskipper-like evolved form of Mudkip. The
surface of Marshtomp's body is enveloped by a thin, sticky film
that enables it to live on land. Because it weakens if its skin
dries out, it replenishes fluids by playing in mud. Its hindquarters exhibit development, giving
it the ability to walk on just its hind legs. Like Mudkip, it can
use the fin on its head to navigate.

In the Pokémon anime, Brock has a Marshtomp that evolved from
a Mudkip he caught that is currently at his hometown in Pewter City.

Swampert

Number:260

Type:Water/ Ground

Evolves from:Marshtomp

Evolves into:None

Swampert(ラグラージ,Ragurāji
?, Laglarge in original Japanese
language versions) lives and makes its nest offshore on
various beaches. It has various abilities that allow it to live
without fear of being targeted as prey. It has powerful vision that
can see through even the depths of murky water. Its three fins
sense subtle changes in the sounds and patterns of ocean waves and
tidal winds to predict the oncoming of storms and tidal waves,
respectively. Its great strength, allowing it to procure and drag
boulders that can weigh a ton, lets it pile up boulders around its
beach nest in order to weather the storms that it may predict. With
its strength and its rock-hard arms, it can easily batter down a
foe with a single swing and pull ships while swimming faster than a
personal water craft.
